The Houston Astros fell 10–6 to the Cleveland Guardians, and we’re reacting to a frustrating loss that exposed some key issues on the mound and at the plate.
🔥 Hunter Brown gave up 6 runs early, continuing his trend of struggling at home.
🔥 Josh Hader couldn’t shut the door, giving up a homer to Angel Martinez in a critical moment.
😬 Bryan Abreu wasn’t sharp either — not bad, but not dominant.
On offense, the Astros went cold with runners in scoring position, wasting multiple chances to flip the game. And with Zach Short no longer leading in OPS and pressing to be the hero again, it may be time to ask — are we asking too much from him?
⚠️ This was the Astros’ first series-opening loss in their last 13 — but let’s not forget: they got swept by the White Sox in 2022… and still won the World Series.
Could Houston have won this game with better pitching? Should we be worried about the depth behind the starters? Let’s break it all down.

It happens! They fought hard to stay in those games.
I will say this like I said on another channel: This is the second time this season that Hunter has pitched on more than 5 days rest and was lit up. It happened yesterday and it happened at Tampa….just saying
A lot of those guys sadly just aren't good enough and they are only there because of injuries. They were going to scuffle a bit after such a good stretch. Hopefully they can salvage a game and then take 2 of 3 from teh arlington texas.
Again our veterans playing their hearts out and the new guys not coming through with men on base!Short should be benched!0-5abs!Hell bring Singleton back as a pinch hitter!Josh Hader is a joke!Hunter Brown terrible!
If we are going to have a chance we need Alvarez and Peña back and bring Singleton back at least he’ll get home run or base on balls he watches pitches!Josh Hader a problem to many home runs when game could be won
2 outs 2 strikes 6 to 6 game and he throws a meat ball for home run game over!
I mean right down middle of plate!100 ml for these types of performances!I wouldn’t doubt if mariners come back on them they better get their act together!What a great run against Phil’s Cubs and Dodgers only to be ruined by a sweep of lowly Cleveland!We need more Altuves!
